Nutrition management of patients undergoing a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) can be challenging. Fluid, macronutrient, and micronutrient needs are often altered due to a variety of therapy-associated complications and changes in metabolism. Sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS) is a complication characterized by fluid retention, ascites, and painful hepatomegaly that may complicate provision of adequate nutrition to HSCT patients. The nutrition implications and interventions in a patient who developed SOS following an allogeneic matched unrelated donor (Allo/MUD) HSCT are reviewed in the case report. © 2012 American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition.
